Hey guys! I'm so happy I'm able to write yet another chapter! I've been so busy lately with what goes within school. So read this chapter and then review!
Today was Sunday and Gabriella seemed to be in a rush this morning. Troy walked down the stairs towards the kitchen. Dustin was watching MTV and Sophie and Jasmine had not come down yet. Troy turned to see Gabriella drinking coffee quickly while signing papers. "Gabriella, are you okay?"
Gabriella turned. "Oh yeah. It's just that Sundays are usually busy days at the restaurant." She checked her watch. "AH! I've got to leave now." She ran towards Dustin and kissed him on the head.
"Bye Mom." He said with his eyes fixed on the television. She turned towards Troy and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Bye Troy."
"Bye Gabs." And with that she left the house.
Troy sat down next to Dustin and sat in thought. He tapped Dustin in the back. Dustin turned around. "Yes?"
Troy looked at him. "How about we go on a field trip today?"
With Gabriella
After Gabriella checked on the restaurant, she went to get fitted for her wedding dress. Taylor had to stay and watch the restaurant, so Gabriella brought Sharpay with her.
Gabriella tried the dress on. The dress complimented her body so well that she looked completely different. "Are you nervous?" Sharpay asked.
"Yes." Gabriella breathed out. I'm nervous about marrying the wrong man.
A few minutes later
"Dad, where are we going?" Sophie asked in the car for the tenth-hundredth time.
"We're going to meet some nice people, squirt." Troy answered back.
"Oh no. I've seen this in the movies before. Dad's going to hand us over to evil surgeons so they can feed us to animals!" Sophia screamed.
Troy buried his face in his hands. "Sorry Dad." Jasmine started. "She watches too many movies."
"Mr. Bolton, sir." The driver started. "We're here."
"Thank you, David." They started moving towards the door.
"Would you like me to open the door for you, sir?"
"We'll get it, David." David nodded and Troy and the kids walked out. They came across a large house.
"Okay kids. Let's go." Troy said.
" Dustin, I'm scared." Sophia stared.
"It's fine, Soph." Dustin carried Sophia towards the door.
Troy knocked on the door reluctantly until someone very familiar opened the door. "May I help – TROY?" Lucille Bolton stared wide-eyed.
"H-hi M-mom."
Lucille felt a tear drop from her eye. "Oh baby." And she hugged Troy tightly.
"Does anyone else know who this is?" Sophie whispered to her siblings. They shook her heads.
Lucille turned to the kids. "Oh, come in." She said. The kids walked in and Troy followed. They walked towards the living room. "Jack! Come down here, NOW!"
Jack ran down the stairs. "Dear, come on, the game is on." She pointed towards Troy. Jack stared wide-eyed just like his wife did. "Wow, um didn't see that coming." He said awkwardly.
"If this is a bad time," Troy started. "We can just go."
"No. I'm happy you're here Troy." He said happily. He went to hug his son. The kids still stared at them.
"Oh sorry, I forgot about you guys." Troy said.
"Um kinda." Jasmine said sarcastically.
"I'm guessing you are wondering who these people are." They all nodded. "These are my parents-your grandparents." They stared at Troy and his parents. "Now would be a good time to say something." The kids smiled and ran to their grandparents. They embraced them.
Lucille and Jack smiled at their son. Lucille let go of her grandkids. "Kids, why don't I bring you to your dad's old room?" They nodded and Lucille brought them to his room.
Troy sat down with his dad. "So how's the Los Angeles?"
"It's great." He simply said.
"How's Gabriella?"
"Um she owns a restaurant; she's still beautiful, full of live, engaged."
"Engaged?"
In Troy's room
"Wow. Dad must've really liked basketball." Sophia stated as the kids stared at his room.
"We haven't done anything to your father's room. It was hard for us. Well you kids look around. I'll be back later."
They nodded. The kids looked around the room. "Oh my god, that's Dad in high school." Jasmine pointed out at a picture of Troy in his basketball uniform.
"Woah, this is Mom and Dad during prom." Dustin said pointing out a picture next to Troy's bed. Sophia dropped a big white box on top of the bed. Dustin and Jasmine walked towards her. Sophia pulled out a tape.
She read the inscription. "East High Wildcats vs. West High Knights. 'We're All In This Together'?" She turned to her older siblings.
"Let's watch it." Dustin said. Jasmine nodded. Sophia pushed the tape into the VCR.
Back in the living room,
"What do you mean she's engaged?" Jack Bolton repeated himself.
"As in, she has a really really really expensive ring on her left hand." Troy said slowly.
Jack stared at his son. "You may look older but you still act like a teenager." He grumbled.
"Then why are you with the kids?" Lucille asked.
"I met the kids when I was visiting a school."
"When's the wedding?"
"Next month."
"Oh goodness. I'm sorry, baby." Lucille said as she sat next to her son.
"Mom, feeling sorry isn't going to help. I just let her go when I was being stupid."
"She's not your possession, Troy. She loved you and you loved her more than anything but you made a decision. She made one too. Whether or not it was a the right decision is something different."
"Your father's right." Troy stared at his parents then buried his face in his hands.
Back with the kids.
The kids have been so interested with the tapes, they watched more tapes.
"Summer time is here. It's good to be chilling out. I'm off the clock. The pressure's out! And my girl's what it's all about."
"I'm ready for some sunshine for my heart to take a chance. I'm here to stay; not moving away. Ready for a summer romance."
"Our parents were the coolest kids ever." Jasmine said with her mouth still hanging.
Sophia nodded. "That is so hard to believe." Dustin turned back to the box and took out another tape.
"Hey put this one in." He looked at the inscription. "Lava Springs Summer Nights Talent Show."
He put the tape in. There flashed his dad on a stage by himself.
"Once in a lifetime, means there's no second chance. So I believe that you and me should grab it while we can."
"Make it last forever and never give it back."
"It's turn now and I'm lovin' where we're at."
"Because this moment's really all we have."
"Everyday, of our lives."
"Wanna find you there. Wanna hold on tight."
"Gonna run, while we're young. And keep the faith."
"Everyday. From right now. Gonna use our voices to scream and shout take my hand, together we will celebrate. Oh, everyday."
"It's almost disgusting how much in love our parents were." Jasmine said.
That night
"There has got to be something that I can do to be able to connect the family." Troy said to himself in his bed. He thought hard. "I GOT IT!"
The next day
Dustin was sitting in his desk bored as ever. He turned to Angela who was just as bored. She shrugged and Dustin turned back around. He went off in his own world until an announcement went on through the intercom system. "Would Dustin Montez please come to the office?"
"Oooo." The class said. Dustin rolled his eyes and walked towards the main office.
"Dad?" Troy was standing there. "What are you doing here?"
Troy smiled. "We're going to Los Angeles."
